Search for MH370 ends with no plane, few answers of what happened

The search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 was officially suspended Monday morning after three years of searching for the airplane thought to have gone down somewhere over the Indian Ocean.


Officials in Australia, China and Malaysia announced in a joint statement Monday that the last search vessel has left the Southern Indian Ocean and the underwater search there for the plane was being suspended because nothing has been found and there are no new leads.

The three countries decided to suspend the search after it covered a roughly 46,000-square-mile area in the Indian Ocean where the plane is believed to have gone down, though no explanation for why it crashed there -- nor evidence the area is where it actually crashed -- has presented itself.

"Despite every effort using the best science available, cutting edge technology, as well as modelling and advice from highly skilled professionals who are the best in their field, unfortunately, the search has not been able to locate the aircraft," transport ministers from Australia, China and Malaysia said in the joint statement. "Accordingly, the underwater search for MH370 has been suspended."
